We are sorry to say all of the Chocolate Raspberry Port wine kits are sold out.

However, we did order plenty of other wine kits, and everything from the Vintners Reserve to the top-of-the-line Estate Series are on sale with a 10% discount through the end of the week. If you can’t make it into the store, call us to order and we will hold it for you.

The window is closing to make wines so they will time to age a bit for holiday gift giving.

New Store:

After many pleas from our customers, we are pleased to announce we will be expanding to the Peninsula!  We have signed for a property on Mercury Blvd. just east of the new Peninsula Towne Center in Hampton, Virginia.  The build-out will take a couple of months and we hope we can still count on your patronage at the Norfolk store until it’s completion.  We will need the business to cover our gas to sit in the tunnel!

Summer Brewing:

Now is the perfect time to brew for the even hotter weeks to come.  To you diehard all-grain brewers, we salute you, but you won’t find us in front of a turkey burner right now in this humidity.  We opt for a couple of extract brews with steeping grains to get us through the duration of the summer because nothing tastes better than a refreshing homebrew on a hot summer day!  Liquid malt extract is tastier than it has ever been.  You can brew up a cream ale, wheat, blonde ale, pale ale, IPA or brown ale now and be patting yourself on the back in a couple of weeks when you toast another hot summer day!

New Award Winning Recipe:

Our congratulations go out to Douglas Griffin for his 2nd place win in the National Homebrew Competition with his American Brown Ale.  Doug was one of only two that placed from the state of Virginia.  Doug has graciously given us his award-winning recipe and it is now available at the store as an extract and all-grain kit.  Our many thanks Doug and way to go!

Money Saving Tips:

Don’t forget to bring back your malt buckets for reuse and savings on your next kit!  Reusing them also helps keep our planet clean.  “Save the Earth.  It is the only planet with beer!”  We also offer an in store 10% discount to all local homebrew club members and AHA members.   Website customers in the mid-Atlantic region also save money on shipping, and morning orders can generally be delivered next day!

Chocolate Raspberry Port and Wine Savings:

We have ordered a few Winexpert kits of the one-time release Chocolate Raspberry Port.  Call or come by now to reserve yours.  We only have a few and we anticipate they will be gone almost immediately.  We are again offering the 10% discount on all wine kits for the month of August.  The window is closing to make wines so they will time to age a bit for holiday gift giving.

Just a note…

Our friend Deborah, owner of Grape and Gourmet, includes funnies in her newsletter that always make me giggle.  So here is to you Deborah!
